Voluum Data Vs Propellerd ads (19)
Hello,
I got a camp in PropellerAds, and I have a doubt about how to interpret and understand the data.
This is a Pop camp with 10 landers.
Day One.
PropellerAds : 6.025 impressions
Day Two.
PropellerAds: 4.010 impressions
Impressions in PropperlerAds are visits in Voluum but from where the clicks come? and why the number is so exorbitant?
Thank you in advance

You should check your landers (that produce the clicks) for scripts that could cause the high click numbers.
I could imagine that for example a backbutton script that redirects to the lander itself instead of an external URL could produce such results.
Usually if you have some back button scripts, they will increase your CTR stat in 
It's most likely that. Focus on CVR and you will be fine.
Hey Isaac,
You are certain there's no back button hijacking script in there?
This super high CTR can often be generated by bots who "click" the links on your lander multiple times - I would also look into it by drilling down into placements, perhaps there's one that stands out there.
What do you have in the lander with those 17k clicks?
0 conversion :-(
One more thing why you should get it solved.
On
Incoming users trigger an event but outgoing clicks as well.
So for the first lander you get billed for about 18k events although you only have 740 visits.
Of you have that problem more often that can sum up pretty fast.
I don't mean other stats Isaac, I mean scripts, content type, etc.
Did you also check placements? Perhaps one gives you this huge CTR and you can just blacklist it?
Hey Isaac,
2 good threads with regards to bots:

Wow man, that's massive CTR, definitely not healthy.
Are you sure your LP is okay?
Things to look for that can raise CTR drastically:
- back button script going to your /click URL
- DNS and page prefetching pointing to your /click URL
- popup opening when you click on your CTA and original window redirect to your /click URL
If all of these are combined you can get really high CTRs.
Watch out for these as it eats up your
Yes, the LP with more problems is a plane lander with a simple HTML and an image. Reviewing all the connections the page made, there´s nothing wrong.
I have stopped the camp and reviewing everything from the beginning.
Yes, 2.353,78% great CTR. :-(
I have no back button
This behaviour is not happening in all landers. All landres are in a recent Amazon S3, CloudFront, Route S3 set up.
I have popup after the page load as a warning.
Thank you

I'll share results
Hi Isaac, It is weird if you got 0 click with that bot test.
what do you mean by added a 2nd link ?
I did exactly on that post on afflow/popads and it looks like this
I am going to explain what I have understood of the process because there will be something I am not doing correctly.
I have taken the page that Caurmen uses in his tutorial
<! DOCTYPE HTML>
<Script type = 'text / javascript'>
Function redir () {
Window.location.replace ("http://thisismyvoluumlink.com/click");
}
</ Script>
<a href="thisismyvoluumlink.com.com/click" style="color:#FAFAFA"> DOWNLOAD NOW </a>
</ Head>
<Body onload = "setTimeout (redir, 300);">
</ Body>
I have added, as Caurmen comments, the second link with a colour similar to the background.
"Add an invisible, clickable link, either in your main lander or the bot-catching lander. I'd recommend a link that's almost the same color as the background - #fefefe if your background is white, for example. That clicks through that is probably a bot. That'll catch Javascript-capable bots too. "
I have created a campaign in
I understand that because of the loading speed and the hidden links, any click that receives that page, belongs to a bot. Is this correct? Am I wrong?
I appreciate any help with this approach.
Thank you
Isaac
Anybody can help me?.
Thanks
Hi Isaac, did you copy paste it ? or you type everything in ?
I think I saw space on your </tag> and I believe they all should start with lower case instead of Capita letter.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<head>
<script type = 'text/javascript'>
function redir () {
window.location.replace ("http://thisismyvoluumlink.com/click");
}
</script>
<a href="thisismyvoluumlink.com.com/click" style="color:#FAFAFA"> DOWNLOAD NOW </a>
</head>
<body onload = "setTimeout (redir, 300);">
</body>
Thank you very much. I typed in. The original code is right.
However I still need help with the approach, I do not know if it´s correct and in the interpretation of the data.
Thanks
Isaac
Thank you very much @leonardodarwin for the explanation
